Facebook Marketing in Sylhet, Run as a Sales Channel - Not a 500-Taka Boost Habit
In Sylhet, Facebook is not 'social media' - it is the high street. People discover your restaurant, clinic, boutique or property on the feed before they ever pass your shop. The problem is that almost everyone here treats it as a boost button: 500 taka, a few thousand reaches, a screenshot, repeat. I build the other thing - a proper campaign that takes a stranger from the scroll into your Messenger inbox and into an order. I plan, target, write and optimise every one myself.

Here is the honest state of Facebook marketing in Sylhet right now. A boutique in Bandar Bazar, a diagnostic centre in Subhanighat, a restaurant off Zindabazar - each one has a page with a respectable like count and a habit: boost a post for 500 taka when business is slow, watch the reach number climb, and feel like marketing happened. Then the month ends and nobody can say how many of those reaches became a customer. Boosting is not strategy. It is Facebook's beginner button, designed to spend your money on the cheapest available eyeballs - which in this city often means people three districts away who will never walk into your shop. The reach looks busy. The till stays quiet.
A real Facebook campaign is a different machine, and that machine is what I build. It starts with one decision boosting never makes: what is the actual goal - messages, leads, or sales?
From there it is real audience targeting by area, age, interest and behaviour instead of 'people in Sylhet'; a proper Meta pixel and events so the platform learns who actually buys; separate ads for cold strangers and for people who already messaged or visited you; copy written in natural Bangla and clean English that stops the thumb and answers 'koto taka' before they have to ask; and daily tuning that pushes budget toward whatever is producing enquiries this week. Same Facebook, same city - completely different result per taka spent.
Sylhet also has its own twist that shapes how I build campaigns here, and it is worth saying plainly: a large share of buying power in this city sits abroad. The probashi brother in East London approving the flat, the family in the Gulf paying for the winter wedding venue, the relative sending money home for a clinic bill - they live on Facebook too, just from another country.
For the businesses where that matters, I run a second campaign geo-targeted to where Sylheti families actually live overseas, in English, alongside the Bangla-first one for the local walk-in. For a neighbourhood shop that only serves the city, I keep it tight to Sylhet and the upazilas you cover so not a taka is wasted on Dhaka scrollers. The point is the same either way: aim the spend at people who can actually buy.
On money I keep it simple because guessing wastes everyone's time. My management fee starts at 50,000 BDT, with tiers at 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT depending on how much creative, testing and ongoing management the account needs; larger custom programs start from 3,00,000 BDT. That is my fee for the work - your ad budget paid to Meta is always separate, billed by Meta from an account in your own name, and I never bury a markup inside it.
You pay 50% to start and 50% on launch, by bKash or Nagad, and you approve the campaign and creative direction before a single ad runs. That is the design-approval guarantee: no surprise 'sir, extra charge' after the fact.
Not agency-brochure promises. This is what facebook marketing sylhet looks like when one experienced person owns the strategy, the creative and the daily optimisation - tied to how this specific market buys.
Every campaign is built around a real objective - messages, leads or sales - not a vanity reach count. So at month-end you know what your money bought, not just how many strangers saw it.
I target by Sylhet city, the upazilas you serve, plus age, interest and behaviour - instead of a lazy 'people in Sylhet'. Your budget reaches buyers who can actually visit or order, not scrollers three districts away.
If your buyers include Sylheti families abroad, I run a separate English campaign geo-targeted to the UK and Gulf areas they live in - so the relative funding the flat or the venue sees your ad, not just local accounts.
Ad copy written in natural, Sylheti-friendly Bangla and clean English - never Google-translated stiffness. The first line stops the scroll; the call-to-action tells people exactly how to message or order.
Sylhet buyers chat before they buy. I wire ads straight to click-to-Messenger and WhatsApp with quick-reply templates, so a 'price?' message turns into a confirmed order instead of dying in a slow inbox.
You get the metrics that decide if it makes money - cost per message, cost per lead, what I'm scaling and what I'm cutting - in plain Bangla-English, not a 40-page PDF nobody reads.
Here is the part most people running Facebook marketing in Sylhet never fix, because boosting never forces them to: the ad is only half the job. In this city almost nobody buys straight from a 'Buy Now' button - they message first. 'Eta ki ekhono ache?' 'Koto taka?' 'Sylhet er moddhe delivery hobe?' Whether the question lands in Messenger or on WhatsApp, that conversation is where the actual sale happens, and a beautiful ad pouring strangers into a slow, cold inbox just produces a lot of seen-and-ignored messages.
So I do not stop at the campaign. I build the bridge: ads optimised for the message objective, click-to-Messenger and WhatsApp set up properly, an instant auto-reply with your price range and area so the obvious questions are answered the second they arrive, and quick-reply templates so you - or whoever runs your phone - can turn a hot lead into a confirmed order in two taps instead of losing it to a two-hour silence.
There is also a Sylhet-specific cost to ignoring this, and it is real money. When the price is hidden, the inbox fills with 'koto?' from price-shoppers and from people in other districts who will never travel to your shop - and every one of those costs you a reply and your attention while the genuine local buyer waits.
So I build campaigns that pre-qualify before the message even arrives: the starting price or range goes into the creative or the auto-reply, the area you serve is stated up front, and the call-to-action invites a real next step instead of a one-word question. The result is fewer junk messages, more conversations from people who can actually buy, and a clear, honest read on what each real customer cost you - so you decide your next move with numbers, not a gut feeling about whether 'Facebook is working'.

Straight answers to what Sylhet business owners actually ask before hiring me for Facebook marketing - starting with the question everyone opens with.
My management fee starts at 50,000 BDT. The three tiers are 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT depending on how much creative, testing and ongoing management your account needs; larger custom programs start from 3,00,000 BDT. Important: that is my fee for the strategy, creative, setup and management - the ad budget you pay Meta to actually show your ads is separate, billed by Meta from an account in your own name, and I never hide a markup inside it. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch, via bKash or Nagad, and you approve the plan before anything runs.
Completely different, and that difference is the whole point. Boosting is Facebook's beginner button - it picks a vague audience and chases reach. I work in Meta Ads Manager with real objectives tied to messages and sales, proper area and interest targeting, a correctly installed pixel, separate ads for cold strangers and for people who already messaged you, and budget moved daily toward whatever is producing enquiries. You stop paying for reach screenshots and start seeing, in numbers, what your spend actually brought in.
Yes, and that is exactly why targeting beats boosting. I keep the ads tight to Sylhet city and the upazilas you serve, so you stop burning money on Dhaka scrollers who will never visit. If part of your business sells to Sylheti families abroad sending money home, I can build a separate probashi audience in the UK or Gulf on top - but that is your call, not a forced upsell.
Ads can be live within a few days of approval, and you will usually see messages and leads in the first week. But be honest with yourself about the first couple of weeks: Facebook's system and I both need data to find your best audience and creative, so early numbers move around. Stable, trustworthy cost-per-result figures appear once the campaign has run long enough to optimise - not on day one. Anyone promising instant floods of sales is selling you the boost dream again.
I set up the funnel that feeds it. I optimise the campaign for messages, wire up click-to-Messenger and WhatsApp, and build an instant auto-reply with your price range and area plus quick-reply templates so hot leads do not die in a slow inbox. What I do not do is sit in your inbox 24 hours a day replying as you - that is page-and-inbox management, a different job better handled in-house. I build the machine that delivers qualified conversations; your team closes them, with the tools and scripts ready to go.
Access to your Facebook page and ad account - or I will help you set up a Business Manager and pixel in your own name - plus a clear idea of what you sell, your price points, the area you serve, and any photos or product details you have. Everything stays in your name, so your pixel and audience data belong to you if we ever part ways. Then 50% advance via bKash or Nagad to begin, 50% on launch, and you approve the campaign direction before a single ad goes live.
